Your mouth deserves to receive professional care and it’s important to emphasise that hygiene therapy may also reduce the risk of developing several serious medical conditions, especially as research links gum disease to arthritis, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and premature births.
As many as 90 per cent of us suffer from gum disease at some point in our lives but with good dental care the risks can be easily controlled.
Common symptoms of gum disease include:
- Bleeding gums – this is always a sign of gum disease, please don’t ignore it
- Bad tastes or bad breath
- Loose or drifting teeth
- Gum recession (longer teeth) – can often result in increased tooth sensitivity
A staggering 90 per cent of us suffer from gum disease at some point in our lives but with good dental care the risks can be easily controlled.
